As I'm not attending this year, I'll be watching this thread like a hawk.

Absolutely no whining about games will be allowed. No "Why is this game in the line-up" "When is this game over" yadda yadda. If you're doing something like this, you'll catch a short vacation.

Gonna add it to the OP so people are clear.

Just to be clear, Evo does whatever the hell they want for their Sunday schedule. They aren't using specific thresholds or metrics to determine what goes where. Arguments about entrant numbers or its first year don't really have much of an effect as a result.

Renta already said that to me, lol. No bueno in any case. Family obligations popped up last week that prevents any last minute trip.

This is where I point out that my current plan is to head to Shouta's place Friday night with a bag of clothes and food and toiletries and basically just watch EVO at his place for 2.5 days straight? He's not allowed to go! (I'm recovering from colon surgery, got out of the hospital today)

If I missed someone important don't doubt to tell me

Some of the guys in the same pool will end up playing in round 2 if they win all the way to "final match. So matches that could potentially happen in first round

Punk vs Tonpy
Sako vs Tyrant
Nemo vs Hamad
Fuudo vs Lamerboi
GEN1US vs LI Joe
Velociraptor vs brenttiscool (it's a first match round)
bjUNCHAINED vs L0WRI3RGOD (also a "first" match round)
Snake Eyez vs Dakou
Oil King vs Gllty
Jebaited vs Dieminion

A303 also has DannyPham, who is one of the best 3-4 Zangief's in the world (he's the one who bopped Daigo at North American CPT last year, and Snake Eyes was like "Nope, not playing that dude"). He has a potential round 2 date with Chocoblanka

KyleP is in C316
Jibrill in C314

Don't see JLMN (if you watched the Red Bull Team Battlegrounds, he was the Seattle player OCV'ing all the teams) registered, alas.

Noble | Nightmare is in E314

Hmm... think I'll skip the morning DBFZ tournaments to let people get better at the game, then tune in for the afternoon tournaments. Actually, I might even skip the Friday DBFZ streams completely... but then I miss a lot of Marvel pools.

Too. Much. Hype. Not. Enough. Time.



In my mind DBFZ is a lock for Finals Sunday next year. I don't think entrants will top SF5, but I could totally see DBFZ being the #2 game or at least getting close to Smash numbers.

I'm gonna dual stream Marvel and DBFZ tomorrow.

 

[Allen Poe]

I've had the great fortune of drawing Viscant as my 1st round opponent for SFV. R.I.P. to my confidence.

 

[Deps]

Hoping for a Knee vs JDCR runback in T7 finals.

 

[Smooth Operator]

I'm so happy we'll get some tournaments on DBFZ tomorrow ! Can't wait to see the MvC:I tourn.. Oh... But at least there will be a strea...

...

Capcom...

 

[chrono01]

I forgot, since Kayo is actually there this is possible if they wanted. She entered tekken too

Well I guess I'm watching Tekken this year.

So excited for EVO, though. It always guarantees me a great time.

 

[SargerusBR]

Oh shit Marn made it to EVO this year

 

[Sinatar]

Oh shit Marn made it to EVO this year

Is that surprising? He's been everywhere this year, especially after getting sponsored.

 

[Boke1879]

I can't wait to make it home and hopefully still have some DBZ tournaments going. Definitely want to see all I can of this game.

 

[bryt]

Tfw I forgot this week was EVO and didn't take Friday off

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Man this year has a lot to live up to. I'd have to think about the rest of the list, but I wouldn't hesitate put LI Joe's run into Top 8 last year in the top 5 all time Evo moments.

 

[SargerusBR]

Is that surprising? He's been everywhere this year, especially after getting sponsored.

Considering that last year his fundraiser attempts ended up in failure, yeah.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

How many Americans do you wager will make SFV top 8 this year?

 

[Mass Effect]

https://twitter.com/MrWiz/status/885211335566307328

this fad isn't dead yet?

How many Americans do you wager will make SFV top 8 this year?

I think there's a good chance Punk, Nuckledu, and Smug will make it to top 8, so at least 3.

I hope anyway/

 

[Lulubop]

How many Americans do you wager will make SFV top 8 this year?

Four at the least, 6 at most tbh

 

[Khaos Kontrol]

How many Americans do you wager will make SFV top 8 this year?

Punk
Nuckledu
Snake eyez
Smug

It also has to get through MvCI, and both Marvel & Capcom probably have big esports plans for the game. Though if either game will pass up the Smash games is the real question.

 

[Spacebar]

Top 8 finish

1. Snake Eyes

[Tripon]

Marn was there last year. I know because that fucker yelled at me to take Floe's seat as I was walking the arena to see if I wanted something to ear at the concessions stands.

 

[SargerusBR]

Top 8 finish

1. Snake Eyes
2. Punk
3. Du
4. Smug
5. Wolfkrone
6. FChamp
7. LI Joe
8. Wong

USA USA USA!

If Wolfkrone make it to finals, does it mean Laura will get banned? 🤔

 

[Cybit]

Not sure if this has been added to front page: but per reddit, the EVO stream for DBFZ is

https://www.twitch.tv/bandainamcous

Basically Bandai/Namco official twitch stream

 

[Revven]

According to this reddit post, DBFZ tournaments will be streamed tomorrow on
https://www.twitch.tv/bandainamcous starting at 10 AM.

https://www.reddit.com/r/dbfz/comments/6n2g5h/dbfz_evo_stream_schedule/

Oh baby yessssssss!! So in for this tomorrow.

 

[Producer]

i have never seen cloud805 or killerkai play sfv. Who do they play? Im gonna guess rashid

 

[ColonialHawk]

Got my badge and band.

My body is ready.

 

[Neoxon]

Looks like we're gonna get an Abigail reveal for SFV at EVO.

 

[elixia]

Hoping for a Knee vs JDCR runback in T7 finals.

can we get a hug this time?

 

[roflwaffles]

I need RayRay to take home UMVC3.

 

[Mass Effect]

i have never seen cloud805 or killerkai play sfv. Who do they play? Im gonna guess rashid

I vaguely remember seeing KillerKai playing SFV before. I think he was playing Nash.

The real question is: Will he take off his shirt at Evo?

 

[irfaanator]

This is where I point out that my current plan is to head to Shouta's place Friday night with a bag of clothes and food and toiletries and basically just watch EVO at his place for 2.5 days straight? He's not allowed to go! (I'm recovering from colon surgery, got out of the hospital today)

you all should be hanging out at the vmpnw house playing vsav

 

[DrDogg]

I'm gonna dual stream Marvel and DBFZ tomorrow.

Marvel is Sat/Sun, so the only conflict is Saturday. I like to hear commentary, especially if whoever is commentating DBFZ knows the game (unlikely?), so I may have both on, but with one muted.

It also has to get through MvCI, and both Marvel & Capcom probably have big esports plans for the game. Though if either game will pass up the Smash games is the real question.

I'm sure MVCI will do better than people are expecting right now, but I still think DBFZ could easily eclipse it, especially if the hype holds up post-release. It would be nice to see 5 games over 2k entrants next year though. I imagine both Smash games will get a bump from DBFZ and vice versa.

 

[SargerusBR]

Any chance we get a Trunks trailer for DBFZ tomorrow?

 

[Neoxon]

I'm sure MVCI will do better than people are expecting right now, but I still think DBFZ could easily eclipse it, especially if the hype holds up post-release. It would be nice to see 5 games over 2k entrants next year though. I imagine both Smash games will get a bump from DBFZ and vice versa.

It's certainly possible, but it's no guarantee, especially if MvCI's gameplay holds up as well as we've heard from those who tried the Versus build. But 5 games doing over 2k in entrants would be nuts in the best way possible.

Yeah I fucked up and thought they were on the same day. So Friday is DBZ and Saturday is Marvel.

 

[Kadey]

^Very likely.

Seems sponsors are pulling their triggers right before EVO.

Ryan LV is now sponsored by Splyce.

Speedkicks is now sponsored by Panda Global.

Why do the hotel monitors have disabled HDMI ports? -_-

 

[kirblar]

Why do the hotel monitors have disabled HDMI ports? -_-

So you don't plug in your own netflix and bypass the ppv system.

 

[Nyoro SF]

Why do the hotel monitors have disabled HDMI ports? -_-

Hotels have blocked TV ports since forever. It's why everyone tries to bring their own monitors to EVO.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Why do the hotel monitors have disabled HDMI ports? -_-

to make money

 

[ChamplooJones]

Why do the hotel monitors have disabled HDMI ports? -_-

To fuck with people that wanna hook something up. It's why you gotta bring your own setups.

 

[Kadey]

Jiyuna streaming Pre-EVO stuff. He's in Vegas. I think that's Vampy on the mic.

This seems to be a memo that has been missed by a good number of Smash 4 players.

 

[MrCarter]

Looks like we're gonna get an Abigail reveal for SFV at EVO.

More Abigail teasing. Rumours are there might be a new Mad Gear street stage too.

 

[JAXXX]

Will this be the thread to talk everything Evo or will there be individual Evo game threads

 

[sixteen-bit]

Will this be the thread to talk everything Evo or will there be individual Evo game threads

typically there is only 1 megathread (well 2 if the first gets over 20K posts)

 

[jediyoshi]

shino killin it on stream

 

[Immortal Technique]

Will this be the thread to talk everything Evo or will there be individual Evo game threads

I"m not a moderator but historically it's all been done in one single thread. (other than overflowing into new threads due to post count)

 

[Sinatar]

Will this be the thread to talk everything Evo or will there be individual Evo game threads

It's usually all confined to one thread.

 

[Kadey]

Will this be the thread to talk everything Evo or will there be individual Evo game threads

One and only.

We have been consistent in getting to OT 2. If I feel we won't make it I won't bother. Let's say we're near the end of this and there is a game or two left I'll make the thread a little early so we won't have the hassle of running to another thread during the middle of a finals.
